Have not moved much further? In our countries some odd 250 years of freedom and capitalism we went from being a country that didn't exist to arguably the super power of the world. That has never occurred in that short of a duration in the history of time. Especially considering we were on a new land without any good trade neighbors. It is not to say we don't have more ground to cover... but give me a break, this country has done some unbelievable things.
ps - and our country has gone through multiple devistating wars during that time.
